Moose Jaw’s Levi Steinhauer among Rider releases
The Saskatchewan Roughriders continued their busy off-season by releasing two players and signing two defensive linemen to contracts.
Riders defensive lineman Levi Steinhauer, who hails from Moose Jaw, and defensive back Fred Bennett were released.
Steinhauer has been with the Saskatchewan Roughriders since 2013 when he was drafted by the team in the fifth round. He was primarily used on special teams, where he served as the team’s long-snapper and recorded 18 special teams tackles. He suited up for the Green and White three times in 2016.
Bennett is coming off his first season with the Riders, having played for Calgary since 2012.
